ABSTRACT:
A plurality of tone signals corresponding to one note and having the same fundamental frequency and different harmonic components are modified in amplitude according to the shape of an envelope signal generated upon key depression and having an amplitude proportional to the key depression speed. One of the amplitude-modified tone signals is clipped at a predetermined level and then mixed with another amplitude-modified tone signal. The frequency spectrum of the resultant tone signal varies with time like a piano.
